Hi all,

I've got two devices that connect via USB and set up /dev/ttyUSB*
devices:

   - Sierra Wireless Aircard 875
   - Custom hardware widget

The custom hardware widget gets automatically detected by udev and
the usbserial and cypress_m8 drivers get loaded and a single
/dev/ttyUSB0 gets created.

To get the Sierra card going I need to do:

    modprobe usbserial vendor=0x1199 product=0x6820

which creates /dev/ttyUSB0, ttyUSB1 and ttyUSB2.

These two devices work correctly on their own, but if I have
both plugged in when the machine starts, the Sierra card's 
modprobe command does nothing; no ttyUSB devices are created
and there is no dmesg output and nothing in /var/log/messages.

However, if I leave the custom widget unplugged when I reboot,
modprobe the Sierra card, then plug in the widget all works
fine. Unfortunately, this not really a satisfactory solution.

Anybody have any ideas on how to sort this out?

Cheers,
Erik
